It’s a good and timely question, Sid. I still think we will finish top 4 tbh. And for the same reasons;
The PL is not as great and as competitive (at the top end) as Slysports try to convince us all. We will get top 4 in spite of Wenger NOT because of him, but mostly because the majority of teams in the PL are average to poor. We will battle it out with the Scum, Everton and the Mousers again and possibly the Chavs, given their poor form and managerial problems. But I think the top three will be Citeh, Manure and probably the Chavs - with either Citeh or Manure winning it.
We have enough in this team on its day to get top 4 without any manager at the helm at all (!) in such a weak PL, but with Wenger it’ll be a struggle, but I think we’ll get it. We’ll be 20 points off the winners but we’ll get that 4th slot by default.
We have alot of poor players but we have just about enough good players to do ok, not win the PL, but do ok. The main problem for me is we don't have a manager that can manage properly, using tactics and a strategy that fits the players we have. A decent modern thinking pragmatic manager would possibly get this group of players to 3rd this season (given the chaos at the Chavs) and such a new manager with 3 or 4 key signings might have us competing for the title...
So for me it's 4th by default... whoopee-do, huh?
